… und es sieht so einfach aus, oder? Es ist die laufende Challenge der Jingle Belles – eine Karte zu entwerfen, die die auf der Skizze links dargestellten Elemente enthält. Aber allein schon mit Text auf Karten ist es ja nicht so einfach…
… and it looks so easy, doesn’t it? It’s the current challenge at the Jingle Belles – to create a card that features the elements of the sketch to the left. But then I often have a hard time with sentiments on cards…
Und so hat mich dann auch mein erster Versuch nicht zufrieden gestellt. Ich meine: NATÜRLICH ist eine Elchkarte immer wunderschön 😉 , aber erstens sieht das Resultat nicht zwingend wie eine Weihnachtskarte aus und zweitens passte kein Text dazu.
And so my first creation didn’t really do it. I mean: OF COURSE a moose card is always gorgeous 😉 , but first of all it doesn’t necessarily look like a Christmas card and then also I couldn’t fit in any text that would look good.
Heute kam dann die bessere Inspiration; hier also mein Wettbewerbsbeitrag:
Then today I was more inspired so here’s my entry:
Aber, wenn ich ehrlich bin, gehe ich aus ganz anderen Gründen locker in die kommende Woche: ich habe nicht nur meine Steuererklärung fertig, ich habe außerdem die Küche dem Frühjahrsputz unterzogen. Genießt den Sonntagabend!
But to be honest: I feel accomplished due to far more trivial things. Not only have I done my taxes but also did I do spring cleaning in my kitchen so I’m ready for the coming week. Enjoy Sunday evening!

The moose card is fabulous … it needs no sentiment (perfect for a thank you card after the holidays) … and your decorated tree is oh-so-fun … so glad you joined us at jingle belles.

you know, i sometimes have trouble fitting sentiments on, as well, and when that happens, i just put them on the inside & figure it makes that part of the card more interesting!!! 😉
as for these two lovely examples, YES, a christ-MOOSE (ok, sorry!!!) card *IS* always fabulous and yours is particularly so; and also your xmas tree card is quite wonderful, not to mention a brilliant use of that cool sticker AND the tree brads! 🙂 🙂 🙂
ps: completed taxes AND a clean kitchen are BY NO MEANS something to scoff at–well done, you, all round!!! ♥♥♥
